You are indeed a jammie wotnot! But very, very lucky! Long may it last!

Congratulations!

That sort of attitude is unnecessary! It quite clearly states in most rules that people should allow faster people to overtake... Well, something like that! And it's common courtesy to pull aside. What's happened to good-'ol fashioned manners? Surely the jump judges also have some...

[ QUOTE ] Do you mean the wee handheld jobs that range from £10-£50? Honestly no you don't have a hope My advice is get a battery powered set of clippers, Lister do some great ones called Liberty [/ QUOTE ] These clippers are fab! We've got them, and are easy to use, fairly quiet and the...

You look like you had a fab day! I'm loving the coloured cob! I want it!

Ahh, I guess that makes sense! Was just wondering!

All that everyone has said is great - and good that she likes Fast Fibre! Sha looks great, full praise goes to you! I hope my old man looks like that in a few years! Just thought I'd say, if she likes nettles, then you can get dried ones - a company called Equus Health do them if you have...

What sort of size horse is she? It's better to weigh your feed rather than just go by scoop size... Although I think Dengie and Baileys give you a guide to how much a Stubbs scoop will weigh on the side of the bag. The No 4 sounds like it could do with being slightly more than just the one...

Alfa-A Oil is a winner on all counts! Maybe mix it with some Alfa-Beet. My boy is a bit fussy over feed. Actually, very! But he loves it when mixed with the Alfa-Beet! It shouldn't do any harm being fed straight after exercise, seeing as it is forage. So long as she's not blowing! It's not like...

There will have feeding recommendations on the bag, and that will be so you get all the recommended vits & mins too. But if you're struggling to keep condition maybe move to a different, alfa-based chaff and add a gen-purpose supplement or balancer to make sure she gets all she needs?

What sort of mats were you using? Did they have the ridges underneath? I'm surprised they didn't drain if they did? We've got a very mucky one, he's on minimal shavings - but enough to sleep and wee on (He doen't wee if he doesn't have a bed) and rubber mats. Gets all washed out and cleared out...

It's a very good all-round supplement, without costing the earth too!

Can't say I've ever tried it.... Lol.

Equi-Jewel is a really good product! Best used as an addition to your hard feed as far as I'm aware... Topspec Super Conditioning Flakes also work really well, but can be a bit heating I found! Although, I have been using Winergy Condition for the past year, and my horse has never looked...

I always ride on my own, generally at first light. It's far more peaceful and due to using what can be, very busy bridleways, I prefer it this way. As does my horse! I've never once thought about being approached by people... And those unmounted people that I do come across usually back away...
